Daughter of Lisa Rinna, Amelia Hamlin, encounters grave illness due to nipple piercing

In a surprising turn of events, reality TV star Amelia Hamlin found herself in a health scare that has sparked conversations about the potential risks associated with nipple piercings.

During her 19th birthday celebration at Coachella, Amelia's nipple piercing became infected. The infection occurred when she was jammed into a bush by someone on a balcony, causing something to puncture her piercing. As a result, Amelia developed a high fever and a swollen breast.

Lisa Rinna, Amelia's mother, shared the health scare story on her podcast "Let's Not Talk about the Husband." She recounted the late-night rush to the hospital, where Amelia underwent an X-ray, and the subsequent diagnosis of sepsis – a condition where the body responds poorly to an infection and can cause organs to shut down (per the Mayo Clinic).

Amelia was put on IV antibiotics for a week to combat the infection. The infectious disease specialist who treated her has not been publicly disclosed.

The health scare had a significant impact on the Hamlin family. Harry Hamlin, Lisa Rinna's spouse, was informed about the details of the incident, but found the information uncomfortable and requested to not hear more.

Amelia's health scare seems to have influenced her sister, Delilah Hamlin, to reconsider her body modifications. Delilah decided to remove her nipple piercing out of fear of a similar health issue. This decision could be seen as a direct response to her sister's health issue.

The health scare has also raised awareness about the potential risks associated with nipple piercings among the Hamlin family members. Delilah's decision to remove her nipple piercing demonstrates her concern about the potential risks, as demonstrated by her sister's health scare.

This incident serves as a reminder of the potential risks associated with nipple piercings and the importance of taking precautions when it comes to body modifications. It is a cautionary tale for anyone considering a nipple piercing, highlighting the need for proper aftercare and potential complications.
